After Victoria's best friend dies, everything around her ceases to exist.

The man she loved all her life didn't want her anymore.

Her world crumbled.

Depression took her under.

All she has left is the will not to let others suffer under the Order's rules, but she has to play the part under the hands of the dangerous and depraved to save them.

It's the end of her senior year, and time has run out. Victoria has to marry under the Order's rules by the time she graduates from Kenyan, and her father has chosen her husband--Her ex-boyfriend's rival.

Alaric is the eldest of the sons of Kenyan, but he is darker. More sinister.

He doesn't play by anyone's rules--Except his own.

Alaric hates what Victoria's become after his cousin's death. He's heard the rumors around campus after he graduated. How dirty and twisted she is.

When he discovers whom she is marrying, revenge has never tasted so sweet.

Alaric has plans for her--Plans she never saw coming.

But what if he was wrong for letting her go, and now it's too late?

The deeper he goes, the darker she gets.
